Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This journal aims to highlight a wide range of interdisciplinary research and practical innovations situated at the intersection of medical science, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and biomedical engineering.
In the field of medical imaging, computer vision focuses on developing automated techniques to interpret, analyse, and extract clinically relevant insights from medical images. Leveraging advances in AI, machine learning, Big Data, and image processing, these approaches support various clinical tasks such as diagnosis, treatment planning, disease monitoring, and image-guided interventions.
The scope of the journal includes but is not limited to
- Medical image analysis;
- AI and deep learning applications in medical imaging;
- Self-supervised learning techniques for medical imaging;
- The use of transformers in medical image interpretation;
- Multimodal medical image analysis (e.g., X-Ray, CT, MRI, PET);
- Image quality enhancement and restoration;
- Traditional image processing methods for preprocessing (e.g., denoising, enhancement);
- Telemedicine and point-of-care imaging solutions;
- Evaluation and benchmarking of imaging algorithms;
- Ethical, regulatory, and societal considerations in AI for healthcare;
- Responsible AI and governance of medical imaging data;
- Image reconstruction and processing techniques;
- Image-guided therapies and interventions;
- Diagnostic and prognostic imaging systems;
- Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools;
- Surgical and interventional imaging technologies;
- Image registration and multimodal data fusion;
- Human–AI collaboration in clinical decision support
- Generative AI for synthetic medical image creation and augmentation;
- Large vision models (LVMs) adapted for medical imaging;
- Synthetic data generation for training medical AI systems;
- End-to-end AI pipelines for precision imaging

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
